Construction & Landscaping Services

Serving the Albuquerque Metro Area

New Build Residential Construction

At Beautiful World, we can guide your new build residential project from its initial design phase all the way to its final inspection.

Our homes combine sustainable and low carbon design with meticulous craftsmanship, ensuring a beautiful, durable, and high performing structure built to withstand climate extremes.

Residential Remodels & Energy Efficiency Retrofits

We offer remodel and retrofits from cosmetic fixes to complete overhauls of the building envelope.

Whether you are trying to boost your building’s performance or simply give your old house a makeover, we can carry your project from concept phase to completion. Old buildings can be full of unpleasant surprises, but no house is too funky or far gone for our team to handle. 

Casitas & Tiny Homes

Casitas and Tiny Homes are an affordable and increasingly popular means to provide low cost housing. We specialize in converting garages and other existing outbuildings into standalone living spaces.

We also build customized tiny houses, including modular and/or trailer-mounted units for offsite installation.

Water Conservation & Acequía Care

Water is scarce in New Mexico’s desert climate. To help cut down on water use, we offer the following services:

  • Rainwater Harvesting

  • Grey Water Reclamation

  • Installation of Low Water Drip Irrigation Systems

  • Rain Gardens & Retention Ponds

  • Installation of Low Flow Faucets and Fixtures

  • Maintenance and Improvements to Acequía Infrastructure

Shade Structures & Urban Cooling

One of the most effective ways to keep homes and neighborhoods cool in the desert heat is to give them shade. We offer a variety of attached and standalone shade structures such as arbors, porches and portales.

We also provide Surface Remediation to reduce the Urban Heat Island Effect by removing heat-absorbing surfaces such as asphalt and concrete. This not only lowers ground temperatures on hot days, but also helps prevent flooding by allowing stormwater to permeate the soil.

Native & Drought Tolerant Landscaping

Our landscaping practices prioritize native, drought tolerant, and pollinator-friendly species to help foster diverse and resilient urban habitats. In addition to private backyards, Beautiful World has helped plant gardens and green spaces in:

  • Schools

  • Businesses

  • Community Centers

  • Apartment Complexes

  • Local Organizations & Nonprofits

Custom Woodwork and Joinery

Beautiful World offers high quality finish carpentry services for both built-ins and free standing pieces. We can build custom stairs, window frames, and most other complex joinery.

We are passionate about using upcycled and reclaimed wood in our work. This not only lowers the environmental impact of our projects, but continues the legacy of trees whose seedlings sprouted hundreds of years ago.

Masonry & Tilework

We offer custom indoor/outdoor stone and tile work for patios, floors, showers/wet areas and anywhere else where masonry can be appropriately bonded.

We also offer decorative mosaics using handmade tile produced by the local nonprofit Apprenticeships for Leaders in Ceramic Arts (ALMA).

  • Workshops / Studios
